“I’m a Grown Man and Will Work on Myself When I Choose”:
Rob Kardashian Admits He’s Fat, Responds to Twitter Trend for His Weight Gain

When Rob Kardashian made a rare appearance at Los Angeles’ LAX airport Sunday on his way to Paris for sister Kim’s nuptials, his name began trending on Twitter.

But not for good reason.

Many users pointed out the reality star’s weight gain — and now the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has spoken out about the social media trend, and has also debunked reports he went to rehab and “fat camp.”

“so i found out i was trending for being fat… thank you all it really made my day :)” he tweeted Monday.

The 27-year-old’s weight gain has skyrocketed to a reported 260 pounds, with momager Kris Jenner pleading with her son to get help after doctors told him he was at high risk of developing diabetes and eventual organ failure, which was filmed for an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians earlier this year.

“It’s a shock to me. I was at my best health at 26, and now I have numbers that are freaking my whole family out,” says the reality star, whose father Robert Kardashian died from esophageal cancer in 2003 at just 59-years-old.

“My dad passed away super early, so my sisters could never handle that again…that’s what everybody is super concerned about.”
